There were a lot of loose ends prior to the episode 'One of Us' in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and all that may be compounded with the revelation of Cal's (Kyle Maclachlan) organized team of villains.
First off is the question on what the real mission of Bobbi (Adrianne Palicki) and Mack (Henry Simmons) are. The two are keeping a secret mission and it looks like Hunter (Nick Blood) will be able to find out. With that angle, that keeps Coulson and the rest severely handicapped as they take on Cal (Mr. Hyde) and his team of evil misfits.
Cal's team is composed of Wendell Levi, Francis Noche, Karla Faye Gideon and David A. Angar. Despite their gathering, Bobbi doesn't feel that they are not that strong although they are daringly dangerous. Considering that the team is running on a handicap with Hunter, Mack and Skye seemingly out of the picture, the assembled team does become formidable in the sense.
Skye's special powers will be finally discovered and trust among the ranks of S.H.I.E.L.D. is put in question. Could they possibly work with an Inhuman? Chances are the answer is Yes.
Skye will get a lot of help. First off she will get some psych evaluation from the ex-husband (Blair Underwood) of May (Ming-Na Wen), as Skye tries to get a better grip of her inhuman abilities. Everything points to an index which seems to be misunderstood as it somehow places people with powers in the villain category.
Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) deals with a dilemma, having hated people with special abilities. Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) is the target in the episode but all that stands to change as the two reunite once again. The two will be behind the protective gauntlets which Skye will be using to help her control her uncanny ability.
Is Jeremy Renner making a cameo appearance on the show soon? While Clark Gregg and Jeremy Renner did tease about the idea, the expected revelation of another S.H.I.E.L.D. team (or is it S.W.O.R.D. ?) could lead to a new team. This is tied up to the so-called secret mission of Bobbi and Mack which could make sense since it could be a teaser or lead of sorts for the upcoming Marvel movie, Avengers: Age of Ultron.
The 'other' S.H.I.E.L.D. team will be led by a new character and that could be revealed in the next episode "Love in the Time of Hydra" which airs next Tuesday.
